Cloud-computing services. Legal dimension of use and development of this type of services

Abstract:

Seen throught the need to trustify the countries in the European Union, cloud-computing is a recently appeared technological revolution with a view to using and administrating information webs. It also represents a natural evolution of life rapports and of technology destined to a utilitarian computer science. This is why cloud-computing is a set of technologies and service templates based on delivery, use, processing of informatics apps, storage of data in all internet bases. Cloud-computing strives to be a system to bring with itself important economic benefits because the resources necessary on demand can be obtained accessed on the internet fairly easily. Cloud-computing can be private, which describes itself as an information technology infrastructure dedicated to an individual organization, it can be public, by which we understand an infrastructure owned by a specialized internet services provider, services which he makes available, and grey cloud-computing, or hybrid, in which services provided by private information technology infrastructures coexist with public ones. Juridically, cloud-computing in defined by Directive 95/46/EC and Directive 2002/58/EC, modified by Directive 2009/136/EC.
The risks identified regarding data protection associated with cloud-computing are: lack of control, lack of confidentiality, lack of the possibility to intervene, lack of isolation and lack of transparency regarding data processing.
